Five-Minute Check (over Lesson 4–7) Main Idea and Vocabulary Example 1:Find the LCM Example 2:Find the LCM Example 3:Solve a Problem Using the LCM
• Find the least common multiple of two or more numbers.
• multiple • least common multiple (LCM)
Find the LCM Find the LCM of 4 and 6. Method 1 List the nonzero multiples. multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, . . . multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, . . . Notice that 12, 24, . . ., are common multiples. The least of these is 12, so, the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.
Find the LCM Method 2 Use Chinese Math
Answer: The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.
Find the Greatest Common Factor Method 2 Use Chinese Math. Write the two numbers side by side. Look for a common factor. Divide both numbers by that common factor. Look for a common factor between the two quotients, repeat until there are no more common factors.

7 is a common factor divide both numbers by 7. 2 is a common factor divide both numbers by 2.
The LCM is the product of the common factors and the uncommon factors.
The greatest common factor or GCF is 2 ● 7 ● 7● 3 or 294.
Answer: 294

WORK On an assembly line, machine A must be oiled every 18 minutes, machine B every 24 minutes, and machine C every 48 minutes. If all three machines are turned on at the same time, in how many minutes will all three machines need to be oiled at the same time? First, find the LCM of 18, 24, and 48. 18 = 2 × 32 24 = 23 × 3 48 = 24 × 3 LCM: 24 × 32 = 144
Answer: So, all three machines will need to be oiled at the same time in 144 minutes.
